CNN Nabs Bloomberg Video Exec

CNN has snatched up Bloomberg's digital video czar. Starting on Dec. 2, Chris Berend lands at CNN as the company's new vp of digital video development. Berend was most recently head of video for the Bloomberg Media Group, where he helped guide the company as it looked to significantly ramp up its Web video production and viewership. Prior to Bloomberg, Berend logged six years at ESPN, including stints with ESPN magazine and the company's digital and mobile businesses. He also spent nine years at Esquire Magazine. In a newly created role at CNN, Berend will look to build more ties between TV and the Web. That will include creating new original Web series as well as more cross-platform content.  When it comes to video, over the years CNN has vacillated between building a destination for original video properties, such as the now-defunct CNN Live, to serving as an outlet for cable subscribers to authenticate and watch the CNN cable network on the Web. "Digital video at CNN is a huge success story. It's at our core," said Meredith Artley, vp and managing editor of CNN Digital, who noted that CNN.com averages  3.5 mill streams each weekday. "But we gotta invest a litte bit more in digital first video. We want to do more video and better. And we want to establihsing a clear orignal voice and style. We've done that but need to do more. That's what Chris is here to build." Artley said CNN is planning to establish more digital-only franchises, as well as more digital... Continue reading at 'AdWeek'
